Amen. And have you heard about "MAGA Communism"? Anyone know who's behind that nonsensical movement and term?

Able to use google well enough to find simple facts about communism.

Not able to use google well enough to realize the people he calls communists are just the less-authoritarian right-wing party.

Marxism, communism, globalism, socialism must be purged. History is clear what will happen if we don't. Leftists want total control. They are the authoritarians. Collectivism of any kind is always a humanitarian and economic disaster.

"In other words people who plan to pay the bill vs those who pretend it doesn't exist." I do not understand what you are trying to say. Please clarify.

Sure - healthcare is a perfect example of this. In our system (with the exception of the VA), healthcare is a combination of products and services sold by corporations, which means our prices are a combination of fixed costs (supplies, labor), corporate profits, network and volume discounts, and payments from patients.

During the 90s and 2000s when boomers became middle aged and started needing things like statins and viagra, costs started shooting up, and insurance companies rolled out "pre-existing conditions" as a means of reducing payouts. That of course led to fewer Americans being insured, caused the amount of medical debt held by Americans to skyrocket, and led many to seek care in emergency rooms far later than they otherwise would have, both of which have huge implications on the cost of care.

The Republican solution to this problem since the early 70s when Nixon signed HMOs into existence is the same - save money on care by providing less of it while protecting corporate profits.

The Democratic solution was different in that it realized "less care" isn't a reasonable solution given the Hippocratic Oath, and that we'll end up footing the bill either way - so they passed ACA which made care more accessible, reduced costs, and did so while not just protecting, but expanding corporate profits.

Pretty much any disagreement between the parties is the same - we want to budget for these things, you want to pretend they don't exist but don't actually want to spend any less - that's why deficits explode when Republicans are in power.

Both Parties are bought and paid for by Pharma and insurance companies. I don't see any big difference between Parties except rhetoric. They both make claims about small gains, but nothing is ever fixed/made more sustainable.

The difference is if you plan for the costs, they're lower and you get better quality of care, and that's the only difference between our parties.

The Democrats didn't nationalize healthcare, or even socialize it, they just said "outcomes suck and we're paying too much" and worked with corporations to make it incrementally better.

Only difference between our parties? I don't don't have a party. Both are corrupt beyond redemption. I was a Democrat, but am now an independent. Nobody is making health care incrementally better. Businesses can't afford to offer good health care anymore. Unemployed and retired have little or no health care. Everyone is being priced out.

CtrlFreq, don't know what any of this has to do with Marxist body count. The failures of Marxism are glaringly clear, proven by historical fact. How anyone can still support it boggles the mind.

That's the whole point - no one is supporting it.

The people you guys call "communists" and "Marxists" are in truth corportists just like you, only they understand TANSTAAFL goes both ways.

The entire US government is controlled by corporations. Corporate money should be eliminated from all politics. Democrats think they can control the Marxists, but it will blow up in their faces like it did with BLM and like it is with Palestine. I am no corporatist. I am against corporate corruption and any kind of collectivism. I think I have already made that clear. Looks like we can agree on this. Not sure what you support. I thought you were a Marxist.

Yes, but also no - the relationship is far more incestuous because the government has largely been overrun by corporate officers at every level, because corporations are really the only ones with pockets deep enough to buy those seats.

There seriously aren't enough left wingers in the American left wing for the party to even take seriously - and those guys are seething right now because Biden keeps pumping arms and aid into Ukraine, Israel and Gaza, and he's mainly doing that because those dollars end up in the American MI complex and our 401ks.

I agree. Money runs American politics, not the People. Democrats exploit Marxists for political gain, but they are not really Marxist. Seems to be blowing up in their faces with the Palestine conflict just like it did with BLM. Democrats think they can control Marxists, but I think they are wrong. They are creating a monster they won't be able to stop.
